Biosensors Global Market Report 2026

A biosensor represents a compact analytical tool with the capability to detect and quantify biological substances or changes. Its applications span across various sectors, encompassing healthcare, environmental monitoring, and food safety. Biosensors primarily serve the purpose of swiftly and sensitively detecting specific biological substances or processes, facilitating their utilization in diverse fields such as healthcare diagnostics, environmental surveillance, food safety assessment, and industrial bioprocess control.

The principal types of biosensors include wearable and non-wearable variants. Wearable biosensors are portable devices worn on the body, designed to monitor health parameters such as heart rate and activity levels, thereby offering real-time data for individual health and fitness management. Various technologies such as electrochemical, optical, piezoelectric, nanomechanical, and thermal biosensors are employed across applications ranging from medical diagnostics to food toxicity assessment, bioreactor monitoring, agricultural applications, environmental analysis, and beyond.

The biosensors market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $38.17 billion in 2025 to $42.4 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising prevalence of chronic diseases, growth in clinical diagnostic testing, increasing adoption of glucose monitoring devices, expansion of biotechnology research activities, demand for rapid pathogen detection.

The biosensors market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $61.07 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth in personalized medicine adoption, increasing deployment of wearable health devices, rising demand for remote patient monitoring, expansion of biosensors in environmental monitoring, technological advancements in nanotechnology-based sensors. Major trends in the forecast period include wearable biosensor integration in personal health, point-of-care biosensing for rapid diagnostics, miniaturization of biosensor devices, multi-analyte detection platforms, enhanced sensitivity and selectivity in biosensors.

The rising prevalence of chronic disorders is expected to drive the growth of the biosensors market. Chronic disorders are long-term medical conditions that persist over time and often require continuous management and treatment to control symptoms and maintain quality of life. Their increasing prevalence is linked to factors such as sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy eating habits, genetic factors, and exposure to environmental pollutants. Biosensors support the management of chronic disorders by enabling early detection and continuous monitoring of biomarkers, significantly improving disease monitoring and patient outcomes. For instance, in July 2023, the Health Foundation, a UK-based nonprofit organization, projected that by 2040, approximately 9.1 million people in England would be living with major illnesses, an increase of 2.5 million compared to current levels. Therefore, the rising prevalence of chronic disorders is contributing to the expansion of the biosensors market.

Major companies in the biosensors market are prioritizing the development of advanced technologies, such as graphene barristor sensors, to enhance detection sensitivity, improve signal amplification, and deliver faster, more accurate biomolecule sensing for medical and environmental applications. A graphene barristor sensor is a graphene-silicon hybrid device that utilizes a Schottky barrier to detect electrical changes triggered by biomolecular interactions, offering highly sensitive and rapid biosensing capabilities. For example, in December 2024, Versarien plc, a UK-based advanced engineering materials company, introduced a new graphene biosensor chip. Built on a graphene barristor sensor platform-a graphene-silicon Schottky-barrier triode device-the chip provides more than a 10,000-fold improvement in current modulation compared to traditional graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs). Its graphene surface is functionalized with pyrenebutanoic acid succinimidyl ester (PBASE) or a customer-specified linker, enabling the attachment of bio-recognition elements for precise biosensing applications.

In February 2023, Miltenyi Biotec, a Germany-based biotechnology company, acquired Lino Biotech AG for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Miltenyi Biotec intends to leverage Lino's innovative biosensor platform to enhance cell-gene therapy approaches, reduce costs, and set a new standard for potency assays.
